I have been nominated to choose the next book for my book club and I try to stay away from contemporary chick lit. I want to broaden some horizons so to speak. Do yall have any suggestions as to what I should choose? I would prefer more of a Urban Fantasy to anything romance but as long as it has something that goes bump in the night I'm good :)

I think Sunshine would be really interesting to discuss in a book group - and it's one of my favorite books of all time. I think book clubs are tough because sometimes the best books in the world don't lend themselves to great discussion. I haven't read it yet, but The Passage by Justin Cronin is supposed to be really thought-provoking - but it may still be available only in hardback (my book club has rules that the book must be available in paperback). I also just read Discord's Apple by Carrie Vaughn, and that might also be interesting to discuss because of all the parallels to Greek mythology.

Thanks everyone for the input. I've read a lot of the suggestions you had and agree wholeheartedly with them being some of the best series/books out there. I had Simon Green's Nightside series on my TBR list for awhile so I think I'm going to go with that one for now.
